Daphnandra Johnsonii
''Daphnandra johnsonii'', also known as the Illawarra socketwood, is a rare rainforest tree in the Illawarra district of eastern Australia. Habitat It is found most often at less than 150 metres above sea level (ASL) on volcanic soils in subtropical rainforest. Occasionally, it is found as high as 350 metres ASL.Anders Bofeldt pers. comm. It grows often by creeks, or on dry rocky scree slopes, and in disturbed forest and rainforest margins. It is distributed from Berry, New South Wales, Berry to Scarborough, New South Wales, Scarborough in the Illawarra (34° S). Naming and taxonomy A member of the ancient Gondwana family Atherospermataceae, the Illawarra socketwood is in danger of extinction. Formerly considered the southernmost population of ''Daphnandra micrantha'', the Australian socketwood, it has been recognised as a separate species. The type specimen was collected in the Illawarra district by Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson, L.A.S. Johnson, after whom the species wa ...

Bay Laurel
''Laurus nobilis'' is an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub with green, glabrous (smooth) leaves. It is in the flowering plant family Lauraceae.

United Kingdom), bay laurel, sweet bay, true laurel, Grecian laurel, or simply laurel. ''Laurus nobilis'' figures prominently in classical Greco-Roman culture. Worldwide, many other kinds of plants in diverse families are also called "bay" or "laurel", generally due to similarity of foliage or aroma to ''Laurus nobilis''. Description The laurel is an evergreen shrub or small tree, variable in size and sometimes reaching tall. The genus ''Laurus'' includes three accepted species, whose diagnostic key characters often overlap. The bay laurel is di ...

Anthers
The stamen (: stamina or stamens) is a part consisting of the male reproductive organs of a flower. Collectively, the stamens form the androecium., p. 10 Morphology and terminology A stamen typically consists of a stalk called the filament and an anther which contains microsporangia. Most commonly, anthers are two-lobed (each lobe is termed a locule) and are attached to the filament either at the base or in the middle area of the anther. The sterile (i.e. nonreproductive) tissue between the lobes is called the connective, an extension of the filament containing conducting strands. It can be seen as an extension on the dorsal side of the anther. A pollen grain develops from a microspore in the microsporangium and contains the male gametophyte. The size of anthers differs greatly, from a tiny fraction of a millimeter in ''Wolfia'' spp up to five inches (13 centimeters) in '' Canna iridiflora'' and '' Strelitzia nicolai''. The stamens in a flower are collectively called the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
